Recenzijos

"What the authors set out in this exciting and developing area of law is an excellent text book with a formidable but easy to read explanation of the difficult and complex subject of European Union Law in understandable terms for what can be hard for many to study (and teach) although it may look superficially easy! "It is therefore very relevant to everyday life" as the two authors readily acknowledge." - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
